The Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC) develops and recommends standards and technical reports related t

4、o services, architectures, and signaling, in addition to related subjects under consideration in other North American and international standards bodies. PTSC coordinates and develops standards and technical reports relevant to telecommunications networks in the U.S., reviews and prepares contributi

5、ons on such matters for submission to U.S. ITU-T and U.S. ITU-R Study Groups or other standards organizations, and reviews for acceptability or per contra the positions of other countries in related standards development and takes or recommends appropriate actions. The mandatory requirements are des

Where both a mandatory requirement and a recommendation are specified for the same criterion, the recommendation represents a goal currently identifiable as having distinct compatibility or performance advantages. The word may denotes

32、ficantly more flexibility for network operators to provide innovative services over wired and wireless technologies. Thus IP networks convey all types of communications applications in the form of packets that are transported (routed) to their destinations by IP routers. The point to note is that al

33、l application types are transported as IP packets; in the early days of the Internet, all packets were “equal” in terms of criticality and importance. That thinking has evolved as there is growing awareness that certain types of communications are deemed to be more important than others. For that re

34、ason, the telecommunications industry has started to adopt technologies based on industry standards that ATIS-1000076 6 provide a higher degree of priority, reliability, and QoS to specific classes of telecommunications traffic over others. Examples of traffic classes include the following: Emergenc

35、y Telecommunications Service (ETS) Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS), Wireless Priority Services (WPS), and National Security/Emergency Preparedness Next Generation GETS (NS/EP NGN-GETS) are all facets of the USA instantiation of the international standard for ETS E.107. In addi

36、tion to high degrees of reliability and QoS, this class of service is also given the highest priority for admission control, priority when admitted, and restoration. Several industry standards have been developed for this purpose. Voice over IP (VoIP) The entire set of PSTN Voice calls are slated to

37、 be completely transported over IP networks. The telecommunications industry has adopted many capabilities and standards to ensure that reliability and QoS for VoIP services is similar to those experienced over the PSTN. “Private Network Services” Typically, network operators provide a suite of serv

38、ices to specific entities such as large corporations and Federal, State, and Local Governments. The range of services include VoIP, Data, and Video communications. Depending on the required contracts between the operator and the entity, these services often are segregated from the rest of the operat

39、ors traffic in the form of Virtual Private Networks (VPN). The agreed upon assurances include requirements for reliability and QoS. Special Services Specific service offerings to the general population and business/government communities include Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), Mobility services

40、, Telepresence, etc. IP networks allow the creation and distribution of such services over a single network; often with specified degrees/assurances of reliability and QoS. Internet Traffic General “Best Effort” traffic that does not require any assurance of reliability and QoS fits into this class.

41、 Any type of traffic that does not require specific assurances from the network operator fits into this class. Examples include Web surfing, email, Over-the-Top (OTT) video5requests (e.g., YouTube), etc. The above set of traffic classes are representative of the types of traffic delivered by network

42、 operators. Each class has certain requirements for reliability and QoS; in addition, priority assurances are also specified for critical traffic classes for certain types of network functions such as admission control and restoration. At the same time, network operators need to ensure that network

43、and network element reliability and QoS also conform to certain requirements. Standards specifications have been developed to assist network operators and equipment suppliers to ensure minimum acceptable levels of equipment reliability such that element and network-wide availability and QoS can be a

44、chieved. The objective of this document is to provide an in-depth and comprehensive overview of reliability, QoS, and priority standards that have been developed for the purpose of supporting IP network operators to achieve desired goals and Service Level Agreements at service, equipment, and networ

45、k levels. These standards demonstrate that the resulting expectations for IP network/service reliability/availability and QoS are comparable to those achieved by the PSTN. QoS standards are described in clause 6. Reliability standards are described in clause 7. Priority standards are described in cl

46、ause 8. 5 Quality of Service Standards Overview for IP Packet Networks IP-based Quality of Service standardization was initially proposed in ATIS Committee T1A1. The focus was on determining a set of performance ranges for services offered over IP-based packet networks. Some development work was ini

47、tiated in T1A1; however the bulk of the standards effort was eventually completed in the ITU-T under Study Groups 13 and 12. Follow up performance measurement work is undergoing in the ITU-T Study Group 12 as well as in the IETF under the IP Performance Metrics (ippm) Working Group. Under the ATIS N

48、etwork Performance, Reliability and Quality of Service Committee (PRQC), Quality of Service work focused on potential alignment between wireline and wireless service performance classes and an initial development of telepresence QoS requirements. 5Note that OTT video accounts for the majority of “Be

49、st Effort” ISP traffic requests.
